Billing and shell machines

I'm having some problems with freeside billing.

My situation is this :

I have some customers entered into the database, all of them are credit card
except for ONE who is by invoice.

I am not currently setup with cybercash(which BTW I would be interested in
doing if anyone has some info on a good bank to use)

I run bill, now obviously it cant automatically bill, but it doesn't seem to
create the database as specified in the documentation.  I guess what I would
LIKE it to do would be print out a bunch of name/credit card number/amount
lines on a piece of paper so that someone can go punch them all in.  As for
how to verify the payment, perhaps have it then prompt yes or no on each
item it's printed...

Does anyone have some sort of a good method for doing this, does anyone know
how I can get any sort of billing information out of bill at all.  At this
point it seems to do nothing.

As far as shell machines go, does freeside create home directories out of
the /etc/skel when it adds new users to the shell machine, is it possible to
do this, what is the current method?



	Thanks,
